    This sermon calls the laity into action. The work is too great for the clergy alone. The laity must get involved, share their stories and watch God do the rest!

    Subject: Church Expansion In Antioch Acts 11:19-21 Introduction: The early Christian Church grew rapidly as the Holy Spirit guided it through conflict, prejudice and crisis. It seems that none of the Jews including Peter really understood that God would bring salvation to the whole world. During ...read more

    This study looks at the clear signs given by Jesus and the apostles that point to the falling away from the faith and the condition of the church nearing the end-times.

    The Church in the Last Days The clearest sign given to the Christian that we are in the last days is the falling away from true faith. The scripture gives a lot of attention to this one sign that will precede the rise of the anti-Christ. Look at 2 Thessalonians 2: 3 Let no one deceive you by any ...read more

    A sermon for Church Anniversary

    Jesus said, ‘every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure-store both the new and the old.’ This rather odd little verse is probably a kind of signature from the writer of the Gospel.

    A story is told of a boy who was drawing a picture. His teacher asked what he was drawing. “I’m drawing a picture of Jesus, miss,” he replied. “But, Johnny, we don’t know what Jesus looked like.” Johnny paused for a moment, perked up, and said, “but they will when I’ve finished” We laugh at that ...read more

    Have you ever seen a good church fight?

    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,446 views

    The way to serve the church, the way to serve God in the church, is to build it up by proclaiming the gospel, by helping those who come to faith to grow, and by encouraging them to become mature believers who in turn can bring others into the kingdom.
